As programmers, we are charged to manage the business. And this is a business. It's not everyone's inalienable right to get whatever they want.

Understood? You don't deserve to get things the way you want them. Who does deserve to get their way?

We are charged with making smart decisions for our company, for our shareholders and to present the product the way we believe is best.

And what about the opening ceremony? Why couldn't viewers at least see it online live? Why was the edited and tape-delayed prime-time broadcast the only option?

We don't believe that a raw feed, which would be a host feed, without narration and broadcasting, would be a good user experience in a big stadium with lots of camera cuts. We think we created the best experience.
